Happy Thanksgiving 2014

This is our Thanksgiving menu this year.  We are having a different holiday this year.  Since there are just the 4 of us, and we see each other every day, Thanksgiving is sort of redundant for us. This year we picked a family with lots of little kids that live in a very poor section of our city and made thanksgiving for them. We will be taking this dinner over the river and through the hoods, so to speak.  Some of them are vegetarians so I made most of the dishes vegetarian.  I even made vegetarian gravy.
 This has been so much fun.  I've been cooking and baking for days.  Pumpkin pies.  One of the children told me he had never had a pumpkin pie before.  Well, this is your year little guy.  Hope you like it!

 A cranberry cornbread cake.

Pecan pie too.  I think everyone deserves a feast once in a while.  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Joyce. I hope you & your family have a great Thanksgiving. Be careful driving through the hood. Anyone who was lucky enough to dine on the amazing spread you prepared would think they died & went to heaven. Beautiful food feeds the soul. I hope that little boy discovers he loves pumpkin pie. You put a lot of love & care into everything you make & I'm sure that family will know that as soon as they see this magnificent feast. You are such a kind & generous woman. Nothing feels better than helping people.

Happy Thanksgiving! I totally forgot it was the American one. In Canada, it is celebrated far earlier, apparently it all started with Samuel de Champlain.

And on a side note: I LOVE a good pecan pie.

You are right everyone deserves a feast at least once a year. It was wonderful that you made that a reality for some deserving folks. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I looked and looked for a recipe for candied sweet potatoes on your sidebar..but there wasn't one. Never had that happen before. Those pies are just beautiful!
